Hawk Falls

Located in Hickory Run State Park in the Poconos is Hawk Falls. Situated in the southeastern part of the park off of PA 534 and within shouting distance of I-476, the 25 foot tall waterfall is on Hawk Run. To get to the falls, you can take the Hawk Falls Trail from the trailhead on PA 534. The trail is about 0.4 mile in each direction as it goes through woods, patches of mountain laurel and a bridge on its way to the way to the waterfall.

It's a beautiful day at the waterfall, a beautiful day at the waterfall. Hi, readers. Today, we are going to check out Mr. Rogers' waterfall, or rather Buttermilk Falls at the Buttermilk Falls Natural Area, located in New Florence in Indiana County. You may be wondering why I started off with references to the beloved television show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. The answer is quite simple. The land surrounding Buttermilk Falls was once owned by Fred Rogers' grandfather, Fred McFeely.

Throughout Pennsylvania there are many small cemeteries. Some are rural and some are in many of the old towns and villages that are throughout the state. The Fells Church Cemetery in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County is one of them. Established in 1785 on the grounds of Fells Methodist Church, Fells Cemetery is the final resting place to those who fought in the American Revolution, Civil War, World War I, and World War II. Three centuries of Pennsylvanians are buried here.

Both Fells Church and the village of Fellsburg have a long history. Fellsburg is located within Rostraver Township which is one of the original Westmoreland County townships dating back to 1773. Fellsburg is named after Benjamin Fell, and upon land donated by George Washington, Fells Methodist Church was built. Known as "The Lighthouse on the Hill", the historic stone church that was built in 1834 still stands; however, the congregation moved to a new building in 1967.
